.......El turismo nace porque la fotografía crea lugares añorados y auténticos que, por verdaderos, demandan nuestra presencia en el mirador correspondiente para su constatación, para personalizarlos y poseerlos..
........Para el hombre contemporáneo el paisaje es aquello que queda enmarcado por la ventana del tren o del coche. Apenas queda ya una naturaleza ni cosifi cada ni transformada por la acción del hombre.
Estas frases, entresacadas del excelente texto, cuya lectura recomiendo
sirven como introducción a los documentos y links que incluyo en este post
La fotografía de turismo, la realizada para mostrar la imagen de como es una ciudad o país está presente desde los primeros tiempos, desde el siglo XIX.
La más conocida es la que da lugar a los llamados
Álbumes Grand Tour donde se recogían las fotos de los lugares que se visitan y
se añadían, a veces, las propias fotos de estos primeros turistas.
Pero también hay otra fotografía
de turismo que ha estado parcialmente oculta e incluso menospreciada como es la
fotografía que se usó para atraer a los turistas en la España del siglo XX.
Efectivamente, hay una serie de
grandes fotógrafos que se vieron obligados, o quisieron voluntariamente, a
recoger con su cámara los diferentes lugares de España. Es decir sus tres
apartados fundamentales:
Arquitectura:
Edificios antiguos como Catedrales o
Monasterios principalmente.
Paisaje.
Tanto el urbano de las grandes ciudades
con sus calles, como el rural destacando lo mas importante del mismo
Gentes.
Nos muestran como vivían y trabajaban en
aquel tiempo.
Pues bien en este post quiero recoger una muestra de la bibliografía ya disponible
en la Web en forma de: Dossier, tesis doctorales, artículos etc.
Muchas veces tienen un punto de
vista local, entendiendo por local un lugar determinado siquiera sea el pueblo mas pequeño ( y no por
ello menos bonito) de España.
Además hay que hacer especial
hincapié en la gran nómina de fotógrafos que trabajaron para el Patronato
Nacional de Turismo y la Dirección General de Turismo. En estos casos hay que
mencionar que su obra se mostró en folletos y guías de no mucha calidad
editorial. Claro que , a veces, se incorporaban a carteles de mucha mejor
calidad.
Tampoco hay que olvidar a
aquellas editoriales, por así llamarlas,
que hicieron esa labor de empresa, como es por ejemplo las fotos de Roisin o
del archivo Loty e incluso las de Wunderlich, o el gran archivo Mas.
No quiero decir con esto que
todas estas fotos fueran buenas pues, a veces, el encargo pesa y corta la
inspiración artística, sino que entre ellas hay muchas fotos de gran calidad y
que todavía no son suficientemente conocidas.
En fin, estos datos son una mera
introducción a su estudio y conocimiento.

El Museo del Romanticismo y la
Biblioteca Nacional de España presentan sendas exposiciones en torno a la
historia del turismo, un recorrido gráfico desde los viajeros románticos
hasta la década de 1940. En nuestra sala de exposiciones temporales
presentamos la muestra fotográfica dedicada a la Comisaría Regia de Turismo,
una institución creada a principios de siglo por Benigno de la Vega Inclán
(fundador del Museo Romántico) para fomentar el turismo cultural.
Sedes: Museo del Romanticismo y
Biblioteca Nacional de España
La figura del Marqués de la Vega Inclán como comisario regio
de Turismo. Introducción a la Comisaría Regia de Turismo.
El Patronato Nacional de Turismo se crea en 1928, como
sucesor de la Comisión Nacional de Turismo (1905-1911) y de la Regia Comisaría
de Turismo (1911-1928). Su propósito fue la formación y divulgación de
itinerarios de viajes y la publicación y difusión de guías en varios idiomas, todo
ello destinado a turistas extranjeros de élite, a fin de facilitar el turismo y
obtener divisas, además de la conservación de la riqueza artística, monumental
y pintoresca de España. A estas funciones, ya definidas por sus antecesores,
añade el estudio de los medios para la implantación de Escuelas de Turismo,
para la formación de personal, la creación de centros de información en el
extranjero y centros de turismo en España, que actuaran en colaboración con
todas las organizaciones que contribuyeran al fomento del turismo.
La Serie Patronato Nacional de Turismo engloba un importante
volumen de fotografías y otra documentación gráfica: carteles de información de
actividades, folletos informativos, etc. En total, 344 cajas, que incluyen
80.975 fotografías, 49 sobres de índices fotográficos y 7 álbumes.
La fracción más antigua de la serie, denominada Catálogo
Monumental de España, se realizó entre los años 1928, fecha de creación del
Patronato, y 1936, momento en que las actividades de promoción del turismo
quedan interrumpidas por la Guerra Civil. Este catálogo se compone de 3.861
fotografías de diferentes lugares y tema vario, pero siempre relacionado con la
actividad turística.
Algunos fotógrafos de este católogo son: Cevallos, Collada, Desfilis, Duomarco, Garzón, Hauser y Menet, Ksado, L.Roisin, Laurent, Linares, LLadó, Loty, Maisch, Marín, Marqués de Santa María del Villar, Martínez Sánchez, Archivo Mas, Merletti, Mora Insa, Olivenza, Pacheco, Ribera LLopis, Ruiz Vernacci, Samot, Sarabia, Vadillo, Wünderlich,Zerkowitz

Catering to
this influx of European and American tourists, a growing number of travel
photographers documented historical monuments and archeological sites, as well
as scenes of daily life.
Como alternativa a dicha historiografía se propone una
revisión en paralelo de las imágenes procedentes de la industria turística con las
producciones artísticas surgidas en torno a la realidad del turismo

Miserachs sobre la Costa Brava. ¿Se puede hablar de una iconografía
turística de la Costa Brava? ¿Cuánto hay de mascarada y cuánto de retrato en
ella?

Visite Galicia es una colección de viñetas editada durante
los años treinta del siglo XX por el fotógrafo Luis Casado Fernández y
complementaria de otras como Estampas compostelanas o Estampas de Galicia . La
Biblioteca Tomás Navarro Tomás del CSIC conserva una colección de
316 viñetas de la serie Visite Galicia. Es una colección
incompleta pero muy amplia a juzgar por los datos que se conocen de ella.
La exposición Darrere les passes d'Artur Osona
muestra imágenes del fondo del Arxiu Històric Fotogràfic de l'Institut
d'Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya y de la de la colección particular de Ferran
Barba. Las fotografías muestran las poblaciones y las montañas del Montseny en el primer
tercio del siglo XX.
El archivo fotográfico Loty fue creado en Madrid en 1927
a iniciativa de Concepción López, representante y editora, y
del comerciante de papeles heliográficos y editor de fotografías Charles
Alberty Jeanneret. Ambos contrataron al fotógrafo portugués António Passaporte,
que entre 1927 y 1936 tomó imágenes de vistas urbanas, monumentos, paisajes y
tipos populares de toda España, principalmente para su comercialización en
tarjetas postales.
El Archivo Wunderlich, adquirido en 2008, contiene cerca de
45.000 negativos y positivos en distintos formatos, obra del fotógrafo Otto
Wunderlich (Stuttgart, 1887- Madrid, 1975). Incluye además cámaras
fotográficas, objetivos y la ampliadora del estudio.
Formado en Alemania, Wunderlich se trasladó a España en 1914
y desarrolló una carrera fotográfica en la que, junto a proyectos de encargo
para instituciones culturales y empresas del sector industrial, destaca la
fotografía de carácter personal, que constituye su legado más valioso: una
colección de imágenes de paisajes, escenas tradicionales y tipos populares que
documentan, con admirable precisión técnica y exquisita sensibilidad, la
realidad española de los dos primeros tercios del siglo XX.
Adquirido por el Estado en 1975,
a la muerte de Joaquín Ruiz Vernacci, se trata de uno de los
archivos más extraordinarios de la historia de la fotografía en España.
Fue creado por el francés Jean Laurent (Garchizy,
1816-Madrid, 1886), uno de los grandes pioneros de la fotografía en España y
Portugal. Su actividad fue continuada por Catalina Melina Dosch y Alfonso
Roswag hasta 1900, por Joseph Jean Marie Lacoste Borde hasta 1915 (durante
algún tiempo en sociedad con el también fotógrafo Ángel Redondo de Zúñiga),
Juana Roig Villalonga y, desde diciembre de 1930, por Joaquín Ruiz Vernacci
(1892-1975).
El Archivo Pando conserva la amplia obra del fotógrafo Juan
Miguel Pando Barrero (1915-1992), desarrollada a lo largo de más de cincuenta
años y continuada por su hijo, Juan Pando Despierto, hasta 2003.
Discípulo de Mariano Moreno, Pando Barrero realizó en su
juventud magníficas fotografías de la Guerra Civil Española (fue contratado por
la Associated Press) y de la larga y dolorosa posguerra.
Desde 1940 hasta 1993 la Agencia Pando realizó trabajos para
una amplísima gama de clientes: museos, galerías, coleccionistas y artistas,
industrias de ingeniería (hidroeléctricas, distribución eléctrica,
petroquímicas y otras), encargos de publicidad comercial e imagen empresarial,
fotografía de arquitectura, etc.

Definición
Diccionario Real Academia Española: “La que se emplea como carta,
frecuentemente con ilustración por un lado”
Sobre fotografía y turismo en el siglo XIX es recomendable la lectura de un excelente artículo, en inglés, que nos narra la concepción mercantil de los estudios fotográficos de James Valentine y Georges Washington Wilson
The expansion of
tourism cannot be solely attributed to the Royal presence in Scotland: it was also a question of convenience. For example,
tourism in Fife, a region isolated between the Firth of Forth and Firth
of Tay, began to expand in the 1890s following the construction of the Forth Rail Bridge and steamers. These innovations in transportation made
Fife accessible as a holiday destination and further
encouraged the existing interest centred on golf /sporting tourism. Critically,
the creation of products such as photography and souvenirs was not uniquely a
reactionary process that answered the market demands created by tourists.
Rather, the photographic industry also carried the ability to shape and expand
the public’s interest in Scottish destinations and culture. The association
between tourism and commercial photography was a symbiotic one, as both Wilson
and Valentine thrived on the tourist market and yet also aided in its
perpetuation. To this end, both advertised widely in publications like the
famed J. Watson Lyall’s Sportsman’s Guide to the rivers, Lochs, Moors and Deer Forests of Scotland,Local guidebooks also
used their material, andLocal guidebooks also
used their material, and in turn, Valentine’s
and Wilson’s images were further sought by other publishers and authors.

Photograph of tourism, made to display the image as a city or country is present from the earliest times, since the nineteenth century.
The best known is what gives rise to the so-called Grand Tour albums where the pictures of the places visited were added and, sometimes, the very first pictures of these tourists were gathered.
But there is also another picture of tourism that has been partially concealed even scorned as is the photograph that was used to attract tourists in Spain in the twentieth century.
Indeed, there are a number of great photographers who were forced or voluntarily wanted to pick up his camera the different places of Spain. Ie its three main sections:

Well in this post I want to take a sample of the literature already available on the Web in the form of: Dossier, dissertations, articles etc.
They often have a local point of view, meaning a certain place even locally is the smallest (and no less beautiful) village in Spain.
We also have to place special emphasis on the great list of photographers who worked for the National Tourist Board and the Directorate General of Tourism. In these cases it is necessary to mention that his work was shown in brochures and guides not much editorial quality. Of course, sometimes, were incorporated into signs of much better quality.
Nor should we forget those publishers, so to call them, they did the work of business, such as photos or Loty Roisin file and even Wunderlich, or large file Mas.
I do not mean by this that all these photos were good because sometimes the weight and cut custom artistic inspiration, but includes numerous high quality photos that are not yet sufficiently known.
Finally, these data are a mere introduction to his study and knowledge.
